An introduction to playing Reaction Challenge
Choose a round of Reaction Challenge and settle into its rules. Finish five valid responses. An early click does not count as a completed response; start that attempt again. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Look at what changes after your first action.
Build familiarity through play

What you need to achieve

The playing sequence
- Start a round and wait without clicking.
- When GO appears, click or tap the large target.
- Read your response time and start the next round.
- After five rounds, the game shows the mean time.
Choosing and moving on screen
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.
One way to understand the rules
A valid 250 ms response counts. Clicking during WAIT is too early and must be repeated. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Check the stated objective.
A common point of confusion
Browser scheduling, screen refresh and input hardware can affect the measurement. It is not a medical test. Compare the situation with the worked example. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
